Bronze Proof By The Artist Tarel Fonte Ilhat 4 Of 8

Bronze proof after the original work of the artist Cécile Tarel, Silenus. Lost wax casting from Michel Ilhat foundry, numbered 4/8. Cécile Tarel discovered modeling around 14 years old after meeting the sculptor Pikko Nickolitch. Self-taught, Cécile Tarel progressed quickly in the world of sculpture thanks to the sculptor Coquelin who allowed her to fix the curves of her women with assertive gentleness and benevolence. She borrows her face from her daughter Karine in order to personalize her sculptures. ​​​​​​Her career took her to Paris in Salons and large galleries. If Cécile Tarel's work is often compared to that of Volti, she distances herself from it by her infinite gentleness and maternal benevolence.
